Man in a serious condition after he was run over in a Palm Beach service station

POLICE have charged a teenager over a dramatic hit-and-run at a Gold Coast service station.

A 17-year-old Upper Coomera man will appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing grievous bodily harm and leaving the scene of an accident.

A 40-year-old man was allegedly run over twice following a confrontation at a 7-Eleven service station at Palm Beach early on Monday.

The man remains in intensive care in the Gold Coast University Hospital with severe injuries including a ruptured spleen.

Police found a car believed to have been involved in the incident at Burleigh Heads on Monday afternoon and later arrested the alleged driver.

Earlier, it was reported police said a woman was inside the 7-11 at Palm Beach when an argument erupted and the woman went back to the car.

Confronting footage shows the 40-year-old victim standing in front of the car before slamming his hand down on the bonnet.

The car then lurches forward, knocking the victim down and running him over before the car reversed wildly out of the service station.

It's understood that the man and his friends had been involved in an earlier altercation with those inside the car.
